Summary: A Kid All Over Again
Comment: I was so happy to find this film on DVD! I always loved Alice in Wonderland as a kid, but now it is even better.
The quality of the DVD is amazing (although I would expect nothing less from Disney). The colors are so crisp and bright. The sound seems to even be a better quality, too.
But the story is still the same masterpiece I fell in love with as a child.
And the little extras contained on the second disc are perfect! "Thru the looking glass" has to be one of the most memorable Mickey cartoons. Get your hands on a copy of this one and enjoy it!

Summary: DISNEY DEPRIVED
Comment: I always considered myself a Disney deprived child because of alot of them I've never seen. So I started buying them now that I'm 22. I came to the realization that I'm glad I waited til I was an adult to see them. Some of them have these freaky scenes and characters that I think would have scared the living daylights out of me when I was a child. For example, the weird disappearing cat and the Queen of Hearts. Jeez!!! Anyway I guess it was okay but the whole mushroom and story line. Almost a weird dream or some kind of trip if you get what I mean.

Summary: Definitely Odd
Comment: Terrific animation, very beautifully done. The production values are outstanding, as this is from the Classic Disney period. Thus the 4 star rating. However, the movie consists of several episodes which don't blend together very smoothly. And the characters Alice meets are nearly all really weird or nasty, which is not very appealing to a young child. (I don't see how a walrus tricking baby clams to leave their mother, only to be eaten, is good child entertainment). We have bought several other Disney classics which our daughter enjoys more. But she did like this one to a certain extent, as she sympathized with Alice.
The songs in this movie were not as catchy as those in other Disney productions, such as Peter Pan and Cinderella.
There is a strong irony to this movie, as Disney was all about creating magical fantasy worlds, and Alice in Wonderland is about how a fantasy world can be bizarre, sad, and ultimately dangerous. Wonderland is not wonderful at all.

Imaginatively rendered but slightly chilly, this 1951 Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is also appropriately surreal. Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences: shrinking and growing, meeting the White Rabbit, having tea with the Mad Hatter, etc. Characterization is very strong, and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carroll's eccentric creations. For a Disney film, however, it seems more the self-satisfied sum of its inventiveness than a truly engaging experience. --Tom Keogh
